Operating Procedures
Filling the Portable Air Tank
Take your portable air tank to any source of clean dry compressed air. A full
service gas station or truck stop is preferable. Modern convenience mart type
filling stations do not have sufficient air pressure available to allow you to
get the most from your air tank. It is recommended that you fill your tank
with air until the pressure gauge reads between 95 to 135 psi. The air tank is
filled like a car tire by pressing the chuck from the source to the filler
valve.
PLEASE NOTE: Tank can be filled and the pressure gauge can be read with the
RED ON/OFF KNOB in the OFF position.
Using the Portable Air Tank
Turn the RED ON/OFF KNOB counter-clockwise to the open position to allow air
to flow from the tank into the hose. To prevent air from leaking out of the
tank between uses, turn the RED ON/OFF KNOB clockwise to the closed position.
Storage
STORING YOUR PORTABLE AIR TANK
Turn the RED ON/OFF KNOB CLOCKWISE to the OFF position when storing your air tank.
Failure to remove condensation will cause the tank to rust prematurely.
Always drain the tank of all air after the last use for the day and before
repairing or removing any component parts.
Point the safety pressure relief valve AWAY FROM YOUR BODY when releasing air.
Use the pull ring on the safety relief valve to vent any pressure Inside the
tank before attempting to service the tank. Safety goggles must be worn at all
times for eye protection. To disperse any accumulated condensation inside the
tank, begin by reducing the air pressure inside the tank by pulling out on the
safety valve and holding until the tank gauge reaches 25 psi. Invert the tank
with the manifold facing downward and pull the ring on the safety relief
valve. We as the manufacturer and you as the consumer have no control over
the moisture content of air coming from any fill source. Premature rusting
caused by condensation inside the tank is the primary reason for the suggested
replacement date stamped on the tank.
- Never attempt to remove any components while tank is pressurized.
- Never remove or deface the information sticker on tank.
- Never attempt to fill the tank if any air leak is detected in the tank body. Discontinue use of the air tank immediately.
